Chapter 74: June 2004 Story of the Servants (3)

Astolfo (TS)

​

"Chirp~ Welte~"

​

"……. Couldn't you become a man again?"

​

"Eh~ Why?"

​

"The stares are uncomfortable…."

​

Drawn by Astolfo's appearance and cuteness, while Welte, being a homunculus, possessed such outstanding looks it was as if she were a portrait.

​

"Hmm~ Isn't it because Welte also has excellent looks?"

​

"Hmm…. Maybe? But Astolfo is attracting mainly men, aren't you?"

​

"Well~ If you're cute, you naturally attract people~"

​

Welte decided to shake her head side to side in denial.

​

She knew very well that since Astolfo became a woman, her chest had grown larger, and during that process, people's stares were because of her face or her jiggling appearance.

​

Conversely, Welte was mainly stealing the gazes of women.

​

Well, it wouldn't be strange if a male/female riot occurred, but thanks to stealing the stares, nothing happened and it ended, but if Akira saw this, he might have made and given them perception-hindering clothes.

​

Medea would make those perception-hindering clothes…, but it was a level that came out without much thought.

​

Occasionally, when asked if they wanted to become celebrities, Astolfo and Welte refused.

​

They planned to look around the world for a while, try this and that to eat, and return after finishing their travels.

​

"Welte~ Welte! Look at that! Doesn't this seem like it would suit me well?"

​

Meanwhile, Welte was worried about her wallet due to Astolfo's clothing shopping spree.

​

'Can we… properly finish our world tour?'

​

It is said that Welte was traveling while carrying tremendous mental fatigue from Astolfo's childlike behavior, more so than fatigue from the travel itself.

​

==============

Frankenstein

​

"Yep, bathroom electricity check, room electricity check, power cord electricity check. Seems perfect now. Yep, yep."

​

There's a theory that because Frankenstein unplugged the cords to save electricity, the data Caules had saved on his computer was lost, causing Caules to weep and have to rewrite his data.

​

But, he couldn't get angry at Frankenstein.

​

Why? Because she's stronger than him.

==============

Benienma

​

"Chirp, is this cooking?"

​

"Eek?"

​

"Shall I make some fox meat for you today?"

​

"No, it's okay!"

​

Tamamo is currently training in cooking.

​

"What kind of spice is added like this?"

​

"Well, for Master's love…."

​

"To fatten up that Master and eat him?"

​

"No! I said no!"

​

"Are you really saying that? It looks almost covered in spices, is this soup or curry?"

​

"Miso…."

​

"You mean crap?"

​

"No!"

​

"Let's shout it once. This is not soup, it's trash!"

​

"This is not soup, it's trash!!!"

​

"One more time!!!!!"

​

"This is not soup, it's trash!!!!!!!!"

​

"Make one more mistake, and I'll turn that tail into a muffler! Chirp!"

​

"Hic, yes…."

​

Akira marveled at the cooking training that was close to a Spartan level.

​

And Benienma, perhaps having developed a taste for being petted by Akira, rubbed her cheek against him and made a request.

​

In the end, Akira petted her, but Tamamo-no-Mae Lily looked on with a wronged expression, tears streaming down.

​

"Sob, how did my life come to this?"

​

"If you have complaints, I wish you'd talk after making proper cooking first! Chirp!"

​

"Yes, I understand. It's one second before a big hole appears in Tamamo's heart."

​

"Tamamo's cooking did have a lot of spices in it."

​

At Akira's factual statement, Tamamo took a critical hit to the heart and ultimately collapsed.

​

"Life is now zero…."

​

"How about trying to make curry?"

​

"Shall I? I think I'm confident with curry."

​

"Chirp, then, shall we slice thinly and try making curry?"

​

"I'll taste the curry."

​

Afterwards, it is said Tamamo made curry quite well.

​

But for everything else, she was scolded by Benienma as if being cursed.

​

=================

Georgius

​

After incarnating and parting with his Master, he traveled around the world, taking pictures of his surroundings while holding a camera, and became active as a photographer.

​

It was just a hobby, but as one, two, three pictures were uploaded online, he naturally became a photographer, and later began to gain fame as a famous travel photographer.

​

"It's just a hobby, that's all."

​

"Don't say that, please join our agency…."

​

Such conversations went back and forth, but Georgius didn't tie himself to one place and traveled freely.

​

The money earned from photography was modest, and as he became famous enough not to hinder his travels, he made a living.

​

Around the time he met Astolfo and Welte during that process.

​

"Astolfo…? Was she a woman?"

​

"No, she drank a gender-swap potion and became like that."

​

At Welte's words, Georgius nodded and spoke.

​

"That aside, what is the name of the homunculus over there?"

​

"My name is Welte. I'm traveling around the world. After finishing the travels, I plan to return to Fuyuki."

​

"I see. How about joining me on this occasion? Traveling alone was also a bit boring, and I thought traveling together would be fun in its own way. We'll part ways later, of course. In the end, where there is a meeting, there is a parting."

​

"I don't mind. But can you handle Astolfo?"

​

"Well, isn't that personality in its own way? She wanted to be a woman but was born a man…, anyway, skipping that, would you like to travel together?"

​

"Then, I'll formally introduce myself again. I'm Welte, nice to meet you."

​

"The pleasure is mine. I am Georgius, a traveler who records my journeys by taking pictures while traveling the world."

​

"Yep, seems more comfortable than with Astolfo."

​

"That's because she is unique."

​

"That's true…."

​

"Welte~ look at this~ Isn't it cute?"

​

Astolfo was currently walking around in a bodysuit.

​

The surrounding people thought, 'Must be a cosplay hobby,' and passed by, but there were quite a few people who stared at Astolfo.

​

At the actions of Astolfo, who had acquired a bewitching body, Georgius accidentally bit his tongue and coughed up blood.

​

'This is dizzying…. Wouldn't this also be part of the journey?'

​

He thought so, showing a positive mindset.

​

=================

Li Shuwen

​

Li Shuwen was teaching Rin.

​

How is he teaching?

​

Through real combat experience.

​

He was sparring with Rin, fighting with all his might to a degree that wouldn't kill her.

​

"Not bad for self-taught. If you had a teacher, you could become stronger."

​

Li Shuwen taught Rin as if teaching a disciple as a master.

​

Regarding this situation, if one were to say his feelings were bad or good, it was closer to good.

​

Who would have imagined that after the Holy Grail War ended, he could incarnate?

​

As a result, while teaching Rin, he corrected her Chinese martial arts one by one, taught her new techniques, and made Rin strong through real combat sparring.

​

After the training ended, Rin would receive a massage, and with screams, return home with a sensation as if her whole body had turned to mush, sleep soundly, wake up, and lead her strengthened body to spar with Li Shuwen.

​

Well, Medea, who sometimes lived a life beyond overtime, wanted a massage, and as a result, it is said she received a massage, drooled, and fainted.

​

Tiamat was also included among them.

​

With a body tired from magical energy extraction, receiving a massage, Tiamat's body became mushy (too refreshed) and she was forced into a sleep state.

​

============

Penthesilea x Hector

​

After incarnating, Penthesilea borrowed funds from her Master and founded a company called Amazon Dot Com, becoming its CEO.

​

​

While there are no Amazons in this era, she was making deliveries while training employees close to mercenaries to a warrior level.

​

No matter what kind of item it was, it was a delivery service that absolutely delivered. With the will to deliver supplies to any battlefield or warzone, she delivered, and while learning tactics and guerrilla combat from Hector, she nurtured soldiers.

​

There are various types of delivery.

​

Regular delivery: They haven't been trained as warriors yet, but they are at a level where they can subdue an opponent even if they try to rob the item with a weapon, but such incidents aren't common.

When criminal incidents (excluding firearms incidents) occur, they solve the incident and leave, which is close to a delivery person who flusters the police, but anyway, by achieving this, regular delivery personnel are those whom even regular criminal organizations cannot stop.

​

Next is Dangerous Delivery. They almost always start the delivery with fake and real goods, deceiving along the way.

The shipping cost is quite high, but during this process, they can easily handle terrorist squad-level threats. One truck is operated by about 4 employees.

​

Two wait in the container, and the front consists of a driver and a scout—groups at a Delta Force level or above deliver. Even if attacked as a group, the team consists of at least 3 groups, so they are veterans capable of wiping out criminal organizations. The delivery fee basically exceeds 100 million, but they do not deliver weapons.

​

For these reasons, the company is famous for its unstoppable delivery and criminal organization eradication, and it is said even the Mage's Association uses their services.

​

During this process, Hector…

​

"Uhe~ This old man wanted to rest comfortably…. How did it come to this…."

​

"I didn't give you any work anyway, did I?"

​

"Uhe~ Isn't it too much from the point of being forcibly kidnapped by the company, Lecia."

​

"Hmm, but from the point where you can play, eat, shit, and sleep well, isn't it a sweet company? I considered you as much as possible?"

​

"He~ I want to travel freely. I feel like this is a prison. And it's not like there's no work, right?"

​

"There's no free lunch in the world."

​

"So what kind of company is this…. To the point of receiving a bounty from the US for eradicating terrorists…."

​

"It's delivery."

​

"……."

​

At Penthesilea's words, Hector was at a loss for words.

​

To think that a group of human weapons were doing delivery.

​

He couldn't believe it at all, but for Hector, it was an unavoidable situation.

​

'Forced employment at a dangerous company….'

​

Still, because the work is dangerous, it is said the monthly salary is over 5 million yen.

​

Upon successful delivery, 80% of the delivery fee goes to the delivery person, and 20% goes to the company, but the danger remains unchanged.
